System Shock 2 Remaster for Consoles Delayed by Nightdive

The highly anticipated System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster by Nightdive Studios has faced a slight delay for console releases. Originally slated for June 26, 2025, the PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch versions will now be released within the first two weeks of July. The delay is due to unspecified issues that the studio is working to resolve quickly.

This remaster follows the successful System Shock 1 remake and brings updated visuals, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and a new co-op multiplayer mode. Fans of the original 1999 classic are eager to experience the revamped journey aboard the haunted space ship Von Braun.

The console release is now targeting the first two weeks of July 2025 after a slight delay from the original June 26 date.

System Shock 2, released in 1999, is celebrated as one of the greatest games of all time, blending first-person shooting with RPG elements in a horror setting. Players navigate the disturbing environment of the FTL ship Von Braun, where they confront the rogue AI SHODAN. The game set high standards in storytelling and atmosphere, influencing many titles in the genre. The upcoming remaster aims to modernize the classic while preserving its core experience that captivated players over two decades ago.
